DescriptionI’m a new hymnwriter from the North Shore of Boston exploring lyrics shaped by Scripture’s healing stories and the lived experience of Christian community. My hymns weave together biblical narrative, poetic clarity, and themes of restoration. I'm particularly interested in the profound, foundational and formational role women plan in the Biblical narrative. I'm hoping to work with a collaborator who can carry an emotional arc: lament to hope, wounding to healing, exile to homecoming. If you enjoy writing melodies that help people encounter Christ’s compassion and power, I’d be excited to work together.

Your Faith Has Made You Well

Verse 1 

Break the jar, alabaster											
Pour the litra of perfume							
Anoint the Lord’s Anointed 					
David’s heir, and your bridegroom					

For your hairs he has numbered 					
And your tears he wiped away						
Yes, your kin he has resurrected	 								
To your poor his kingdom came						

Verse 2

Awake, awake O daughter Zion			
Don your strength and lovely robes					
Shake yourself from dust and ashes						
Loose the bonds of all reproach 					

For no more shall enter you						
Those with stones and those unclean		
Yes, your accusers he has silenced			
And your grief dispelled like a dream	

Verse 3

Drink from the pool no longer Marah 		
Poured from the rock that Moses hit		
Draw from the well greater than Jacob’s		
Deeper than all the sin you once hid			

For your abusers’ days are numbered		
Your wicked shepherds he drives away		
Yes, your naked shame he has covered     	
And for your meek the earth he will save. 		

Verse 4

Touch the hem of his pure garment		
Put your faith in God alone			
Fall at his feet in fear and trembling		
Look to him who heals your soul			

For he ends your daughter’s torment 		
He was beaten and crucified				
Yes, your bleeding he has ended		
And his own blood he has supplied
